Chapter 6:
Hugs and Teenage Fantasies

Cyborg grunted and began reading the magazine. Raven wasn't even listening she found her way to the spell book isle. Although a small section she was fascinated by what was held in each book's bindings.

"Where might I find, Shakespeare?" Kori questioned.

"I'll show you." Dick said in return. He ignored Cy and B.B's snickers and continued to guide Star though the library. He felt a warm feeling on his arm so he looked down to see Kori's arm intertwined in his own. He reddened at the sight but Kori failed to notice. To her it was a mere sign of friendship so she carried on happily.

"H-here it is." Robin said mentally kicking himself for studdering.

"Wonderous!" Star said and to his dismay she also let go of his arm. The red head began opening different books and skimming lightly, each one added to her look of confusion. "Mrs. Patterson said I must write an essay about one of Shakespeare's plays to make up for the previous essay that I was not yet here to take." She explained. She tilted her head to one side with a look of pure confusion written on her face, that brought a smile to Richard's face. "I do not understand what messages he wishes to get across. I can not comprehend his writing style either." She said with sorrow.

"Well, it is Shakespeare." Dick chuckled, "I don't think many people can understand his writing." Star smiled faintly. "Here take this one instead, this will help you a lot." Richard said taking another book off the shelf that read 'Romeo and Juliet the modern version.' Kori scanned the pages of this one as well and smiled.

"Oh thank you Richard! I understand this rather well." She answered perkily.

"You can borrow it if you want." She nodded in reply. A loud ringing noise was heard throughout the mansion. Dick looked up to the clock. "It's 7 PM."

"We should start leaving." Raven said, "May I borrow this 'Book of Azarath'? It sounds pretty cool."

"Uh…sure." Dick said as everyone filed out and walked to the foyer. Everyone retrieved their jackets and belongings and began leaving. All that was left was Star and Robin.

"I shall, see you tomorrow." She said giving him a tender hug. Shocked, Robin hugged back after regaining his posture. Star looked up to him. They froze as cerulean met emerald eyes. Their faces were so close, enough to feel the breath of the other.

"Get a room!" Gar said and turned around laughing. The couple leaped away from each other beat red.

"Y-yeah…I'll see you tomorrow." Was all Dick said before Kori nodded and ran to her bike and left.

"Come on you love birds!" Cy yelled from his new blue SUV. Richard and Kori came running into the car. "BB told me all about what happened yesterday." He grinned but kept an eye on the road. Beastboy turned from the passengers seat and winked. Raven groaned.

"Greeeaaattt." Robin muttered. The rest of the ride was silent and they arrived at school 5 minutes later. Raven immediately went to English, Cy to auto tech., and BB to science. Robin and Star were left to go to study. They sat next to each other as usual. Kitten glared at them coldly. Anyway they were pondering on what to do. Sadly neither could shake off what almost happened between them.

"K-Kori?" Dick said shakily.

"…Yes?" Star said leaning in towards him.

"What happened yesterday…well…uh…I think I'm in lo-l…"

"Yes Robin? What is it you wish to tell me?" She said with hope in her eyes.

"Is that nasty girl bothering you Richie-poo?" Kitten interrupted. Star looked down in despair. Richard became furious, he never knew seeing his new friend so depressed would arose such fury. He stood up quickly in the process knocking over his chair. Kori's head snapped up.

"You have no right to call her anything of the sort you preppy bi-"

"Enough!" Ms. Paul said loudly, "I will have no such talk in my class!" Everyone looked at Richard as he finally realized what he had just done. His eyes were wide; he attempted to regain his composure by clearing his throat.

"Sorry." He added picking up his chair and sitting back down. His face reddened greatly as the class looked at him still. Rich sighed as the class returned to their quiet study.

"I thank you for your…um…"

"You're welcome. Anyway, as I was saying, I love you." Robin said bluntly.

"As do I friend Robin…As do I." Not a moment to soon they began to lean in-

RING!

Robin woke up abruptly. "Aww man!" He yelled angrily. "Stupid…man this sucks!" Dick said throwing his pillow at the wall.
